What should we spend our money on?

I was watching the youtube video "World on fire" exspecting something about something were doing wrong. But it was about what we use our money for and what that money could be worth in other places around the world also what we take for granted. We could pay one editor or we could put onehundered kids in school in Tanzania for a year for the cost of $2,500. Which would you rather pay for? Another part of this youtube video was about a woman who works two jobs sixteen hours a day seven days a week. One of her jobs is sealing oranges she sells each orange for two cents she normally sells fifty oranges a night on an avarage so she would make one dollar a night. She make aroound twohundered dollars a year just so she can send her kid to school. That makes me feel so greedy because compared to her life my life would be a dream to her even better that a dream. I also never realized how lucky I am to go to school every day. After watching this video made me rethink on what I should spend my money on.

Future Students

Our writing might be dull and we might not be able to do thing on our with out computers but what we can do with computers is far more than a piece of paper and a pencil can do. In the video “Machines are us” if you think about we work these powerful machines we are the machines, we tell the machine what to do It might find the information for us but we put it together. They control our lives we communicate and learn from computers. In the reading “New literacy” the professor talks about how type writer and how every thing had to be write and you couldn’t mess up and how not that many people had them and if you did that was a big deal and now if you don’t have one you are un connected. This document and video have in common is that our live need these machines

Stepped On

I was looking down the line of all of the post that in my in box and one title in particular stood out to me. "18 Woman Trampled in Iran". that got me thinking that elephants or something big had to have done this, but eighteen women is a lot to be trampled by any thing. As I was reading into it more it said that they were waiting for free flour and then people yes people stepped on them. Could you just imagine being stepped on by people and nobody helping you up and you were there for the same reason as every one else, and you were the one being stepped on. The worst thing about this is that they were killed they werent just steped on once or twice but accedent they were killed and it takes alot to be killed by being stepped on. That is just as bad as being stone but even that is a punishment. These were inosent women. Its so sad that people would go to this for just to feed there familys, the goverment should look at that as a sign that there country needs help. One person i hve heard of being stepped on but eighteen people is a little much.
